Mustafa İbrahim’s paper appears on pages 231–233 of the proceedings from the Middle Eastern Turkmens Symposium held in Ankara on 6–7 May 2014. From the speaker’s perspective, it discusses Akkar and Bekaa settlements, Aydamoun’s multi-religious social structure, language use in Kouachra and migration effects.
It is a valuable period testimony, not a peer-reviewed population study or official census. Its estimates and origin narratives should be compared with other sources.
